Hi Kim and everyone. I had my second facial last week - my second in less than a week which is probably overdoing it! It was a beautiful salon, with statues, running water and lots of candles. Extremely relaxing, and the girl was telling me how the Darphin Intral range was specifically formulated for skins which tend to redden or flush and how they are 100% natural. After the facial, she recommended that I use their products for home care, but I was very disappointed to see the usual range of suspicious ingredients (propylene glycol, alcohols) on the side of the box. How is it that all these companies stress how natural their products are, and yet you need a Chemistry degree to read the label? I did buy one of their products (a chamomile-based oil product for the face) and have been using it for a few days and will let you know how I get on. Clearly, having a facial once a month isn't going to make a major difference - it's what you do in between times which counts. Anyway, I'm determined to continue trying to find something which makes a significant difference, and as a result, I'm booked to have (yet another) laser treatment tomorrow - this time with the Aura laser which I've heard good things about. I know I am now over 30 treatments with Photoderm or Lasers with nothing to show for it. Perhaps this is the triumph of hope over experience - we'll see!
